After six weeks in New Zealand we have seen and done so much. We spent a month exploring the South Island and are now doing the same on the North Island. We housesat for a week in Ruby Bay and are now housesitting for a week in Mangawhai Heads. Housesitting allows us to relax a bit and get out on day trips. The weather here is a huge improvement over the rain we had for the first few weeks. It is sunny and warm. We have now booked a two week holiday in Fiji. 15 days, 6 islands, snorkelling, sailing, and swimming with manta rays and reef sharks. It will be our last hurrah before we head back to Canada. ...

After our few days in long beach we headed back across the world. We have been in Christchurch New Zealand a few days now and have recovered from our lengthy journey. We have wandered the city looking at the devastation still left from the 2010 & 2011 earthquakes. Yesterday we went to the "quake experience" and got the full story. You hear of these things happening while watching the news but then a new story comes on and our focus is shifted. It is interesting to see that there is still a lot of work to do years later. We rented a car yesterday and pick it up today. It is time to see the South Island! Hopefully the rain stops but if not we will be cosily tucked into our Nissan economy car. We are staying at an Airbnb house with 2 Germans that have done the same thing and are now settling down in Christchurch. They have been a wealth of information. ... See MoreSee Less

Since getting back to Argentina from Uruguay we have been in both Rosario and San Ignacio Mini. Today we will take our final bus up to Iguazu Falls. It would have been a very long bus ride so we are breaking it up. Five hours to go. Tomorrow we will go see the falls by day and maybe the next day by moonlight. It is supposed to be spectacular. Then we will part ways with Moire and Rose ... See MoreSee Less

Jeff, my mom, rose and I were getting on a bus in Rosario, Argentina. We were trying to pay with bills as there were no shops open to buy a ticket and the cabs were not running as a cab driver had been killed. The bus driver said he didn't take bills. We weren't sure what to do as it would be a 25 min walk with our packs (and suitcases for the ladies). A woman on the bus used her card to buy us 4 tickets and didn't want the money in return. Sooooo nice! Thank-you stranger on the bus. We are making our way north through a few different towns on our way to iguazu falls. It is suppose to be heaven on earth. Can't wait. We really enjoyed our time in Uruguay. We spent some time in a beach town relaxing and eating ice cream...some beer and wine might have been involved also. ; p. I really enjoyed having a kitchen to cook in as it has been 8 months since I have had my very own kitchen. I have had a few occasions where I had to muscle in to a hostel kitchen and fight for the last pan and a burner. Jeff enjoyed a Big Bang theory marathon. I had a lovely run along the beach though the runs are very far between these days and my legs were a little sore for a few days. We are enjoying travelling with the ladies (mom and rose). It is nice to have others to share our experiences with. ... See MoreSee Less
